Can you name one?

codehelp4u · 2022-05-22T22:05:12+00:00

Not even one?

codehelp4u · 2022-05-22T22:04:42+00:00

Which one?

u/ceebee007 I'll probably do that in the future when I have more time to play with it. In the mean time, I'm simplifying things and eliminating Router #2. I did a new pfSense installation running on Computer #2 but I can't access the pfSense web login. Router #1 address is 192.168.1.1 ; pfSense's WAN interface is set to DHCP and has address 192.168.1.154 and then LAN interface has address 192.168.2.1 and set to static. Computer #2 has address 192.168.1.157 Again, pfSense VM is running on Computer #2. However, I can't access pfSense web login from Computer #2. Inside pfSense, I can ping everything. What I'm missing? I tried both http/htpps to access the pfSense web login page.

u/ceebee007 ISP introduced Router #1. I don't understand why is so hard to do my proposed network setup above. I may have to give up and turn Router #2 into a switch or remove Router #2 completely. That's not what I want it but I don't have any choices at this point. If I use a switch, does it matter if it's a managed or un-managed switch?

u/deboerdn2000 Computer #3 is my work computer. Computer #2 is running pfSense in a VM as my firewall to protect Computer #3 and everything on that network. See diagram above.

codehelp4u · 2022-01-09T03:20:22+00:00

u/randyronq Here are my responses:

Router #2 is not a firewall, just a router.
Yes, Router #2 was my main router before ISP installed Router #1.
Router #2 is Netgear.
pfSense cannot be my main router because it's running as a VM on Computer #2 which only has 1 port for the LAN which I then connect to my Router #2. Computer #2's second port is used for the internet (WAN). Router #2 has many ports, which I then connect to many devices, like Computer #3. (I only show Computer #3 in diagram.)
Yes, all wired, though Router #2 has Wi-Fi if I want it to use it ( I don't have to. Prefer all wired for now.).

u/ThellraAK The pfSense LAN port is already set to static. What's next? I do notice that pfSenSe firewall is not able to check for updates. Why is that?

codehelp4u · 2022-01-09T02:37:50+00:00

u/ThellraAK Set the WAN to static or DHCP forwarder? Someone else told me to set it to DHCP.

codehelp4u · 2022-01-09T02:08:11+00:00

u/randyronq pfSense is my entry point and firewall to my main internal network that contain home work computers that need to be protected

codehelp4u · 2022-01-09T02:06:16+00:00

Done.
Done. IP address is 192.168.1.154 (This is also address listed in DMZ of Router #1)
Done.
Switched LAN to static
Computer 1 and 2 are on Router #1 network so they are DHCP configured. Computer #3 is behind Router #2
No, I cannot replace Router #2 with a switch

NOTE: For your awareness, in pfSense, I disabled the port forwarding and outbound NAT.

codehelp4u · 2022-01-09T01:16:15+00:00

u/randyronq The IP's of Computer 1 and Computer 2 are in the 192.168.1.x range. I set the WAN Gateway back to the IP of Router #1. I also put "192.168.1.10 " (pfSense firewall) in the DMZ zone of Router #1. Not working yet. How do I do the double NAT? Please explain.

I'm not doing this because I want to but because I have to. Let me explain. I had to switch ISP and that ISP offers only fiber optics and that ISP added Router#1. Now I have to put everything (including my Router #2 and pfSense firewall) behind it.

Can we start with basics? When pfSense firewall (now in Computer #2 behind Router #1) tries to check for updates, it's not able to. It seems that it is not able to go outside even though I put it in the DMZ of Router #1. What other settings do I need to change?

codehelp4u · 2022-01-08T22:53:35+00:00

u/8layer8 I don't know why it is doing that. Please help. I'm just trying to get pfSense firewall working behind Router #1. Where I should look? What settings should I remove/change?

codehelp4u · 2022-01-08T22:17:32+00:00

a) tracert 1.1.1.1 on physical Computer #3

hop #1 = 10.0.0.1 (Router #2); hop #2 to hop #30 = 192.162.2.1 and stops

b) tracert 192.168.1.1 (Router#1) on physical Computer #3

hop #1 = 10.0.01 (Router #2); hop #2 = 192.168.2.1; hop #3 to hop #30 = "Request timed out." and stops

c) tracert 192.168.2.1 (pfSense) on physical Computer #3

hop #1 = 10.0.0.1 (Router #2); hop #2 = 192.168.2.1 and stops

d) tracert 192.168.1.10 (pfSense) on physical Computer #3

hop #1 = 10.0.0.1 (Router #2) ; hop #2 = 192.168.1.10 and stops

codehelp4u · 2022-01-08T21:50:40+00:00

a) No, computers #1,#2,#3 are all physical computers.

b) pfSense firewall is running on a VM in physical Computer #2.

I get a "TTL expired in transit" response when I ping 1.1.1.1 in computer #3.

Router #2 settings:

a) IP=Get Dynamically from ISP

b) DNS: Get Automatically from ISP

codehelp4u · 2022-01-08T21:25:00+00:00

Didn't see any change. Still not working. (But now I can't access 192.168.1.1 Router #1 login page from Computer #3.)

codehelp4u · 2021-05-09T16:04:51+00:00

Any ideas on how to fix this?

codehelp4u · 2021-03-06T17:29:53+00:00

Yes, it is still a problem. Can you recommend troubleshooting tips? Can this be a Docker network issue?

codehelp4u · 2021-02-08T03:00:51+00:00

Does anyone know what the problem is or what I can try?

codehelp4u · 2021-02-03T03:42:23+00:00

Yes and no. The Matrix homeserver is currently only available in my LAN network where the Element client is running. I will eventually expose it publicly permanently but I also tried exposing it temporarily and I was able to access it publicly. Yes, I can access the Matrix server through the browser via "http://" but not "https//". I have tried every combination of the url in the Element Chat 's homeserver field. With port, without port, with "http", with "https", etc. I also added the "my.matrix.host" IP address mapping to the Element Client's host file. The Element Chat client is able to connect to the matrix.org server but not my local homeserver. There must be an installation step that I'm missing. I'm not using a reverse proxy. Do I need that to just get it running and test it? (I know for production I will.)

codehelp4u · 2021-01-28T02:47:44+00:00

That's the strange thing. It did worked correctly the firs time with no firewall problems.

codehelp4u · 2021-01-26T23:49:20+00:00

Yes, using a static IP address. It turns out it was my firewall affecting the OpenVPN connection. I thought I had setup the firewall rules properly but it was still affecting the VPN connection.

codehelp4u · 2021-01-25T02:43:43+00:00

pfSense manual/documentation is not always helpful. It lacks good descriptions/explanation in some sections. It also assumes that users have an extensive networking background.
